Tickover - Pick Up Day
Hi all,
So I got the call from Gus and popped down to Dartford after work yesterday to pick up B112 after having a few jobs done. Finished at 2pm, jumped on the underground to London Bridge, train to Dartford, 20min walk and was there by 4pm
New 3" CCI exhaust ( sportex), new Coolex Alloy Radiator in Black and of course while they were checking the torques on head bolts and checking tappets I got them to finally fit the custom rocker cover. All looks really good. Here's a, few pictures

My OCD insists I ask why you have left the lifting eye on the front exhaust side when the one from the rear inlet side is gone?
I reckon it would look better without...................but that's just me.

Re: Tickover - Pick Up Day
Thanks Andy. I was in the Dartford Tunnel coming home looking on my rear view wondering where the boy Racer was maku g alll that noise then I realised it was me
Seriously tho Andy it's louder than the 2" but not REALLY loud so Danny will still have the Tunnel Run Crown without a doubt even with my 45s

Re: Tickover - Pick Up Day
Thanks Chris. I had a 2" CCI system for a few years and it's been great. Lovely tone to it. I just fancied a change with all the other mods I been doing and as a stainless system will have to wait I promised myself I would try 3" and it looks great. Not to over the top at all and pokes out the back a treat without being chavvy

Re: Tickover - Pick Up Day
Thanks Steve... I think But yep I know it's only a fairly tame modification compared to what the Pinto can offer if your pockets are even deeper than mine so no need for you to get worried..... Yet.!!!

It's basically the mirror opposite of my car
